- Licensed Chiropractor and Certified Orthotic Fitter
Dr. Tom graduated from Palmer School of Chiropractic in 1992. He continued his education with an internship in Florida, where he was exposed to chiropractic at its finest. The chiropractors that he worked with in Florida specialized in sports injury and sports therapy. While working with the chiropractors in Florida, he realized that health is an attitude and lifestyle. You get out of it what you put into it and you become part of it. This has shaped Dr. Tom’s philosophy in helping his patients. Dr. Tom has continued his studies in nutrition, kinesiology, Cox technique, and Decompression therapy. He also works in the treatment of fibromyalgia, TMJ, and plantar fasciitis.
-What is Chiropractic? Taking a Natural Systemic Approach to Healing
Chiropractic is a way of looking at the human body as a whole. It's based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing. You know that your body is controlled by your brain, but the spinal cord and vast network of nerves that carry its messages are just as important. When this system is not functioning at its peak, your body’s overall performance suffers. In the chiropractic world, we don’t use drugs to treat our patients. While supplementation and nutrition are almost always a part of the bigger picture, drugs and prescriptions can be viewed as bandaids to treat symptoms rather than treating the source of the problem. Chiropractic treats the problem naturally and in turn prompts the body to heal itself. While it's often perceived that the chiropractor solely treats back and neck pain, this is a small piece of what the profession is capable of handling. Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and joint pain, but are largely called on to deal with many different health issues. Some of these issues include fibromyalgia, allergies, insomnia, and headaches among many more.
